Lsys: Grow lifelike plants using simple rules.
areas/alife/systems/lsys/
Lsys is a program to generate complex models using string production
systems called L-Systems, as described in Prusinkiewicz and
Lindenmayer's book. These L-Systems can be used to "grow"
natural-looking plants out of very simple rules. Lsys produces output
in PostScript and in a generic text format. Adding new output formats
is straightforward. Some of the L-systems described in Lindenmayer's
book have been included.
